    This is a great resource! I'll have a 2nd grader next year and I'm bookmarking this to come back when I am ready to plan.

    This is a great lens, homeschooling could be complemented with an iPad, nothing can replace the social aspect of school what are your thoughts?

    An iPad would work well for many homeschooling areas. I do disagree about the social aspect of school, though. Many times, if a child doesn't fit in quite right, they are bullied. Children are often exposed to many things they really aren't ready to handle and more often than not they get in trouble if they try to "socialize". Homeschooling offers a lot of social outlets if you look for them and most homeschool moms that I know do. My boys are involved in drama, 4-H, gym class, children's choir and various church programs. My little guy proudly informed me last night that he has been on stage 14 times in the last year (he's only 9 years old). He is getting to be quite a natural at it. My little guy borders on being autistic. He would be in special ed (even though he's very smart) if he was in school and he would be bullied. But in homeschool, he is getting opportunities he would not in school. Besides being on stage, he also went through 4-H judging this summer and made it to state. I know a lot of people have the misconception that public school provides better socialization than homeschool, but from what all I've seen, that appears to be a myth. :)

    I'm not a parent but I found this article very useful.
    I was never friendly with children. In fact, they were scared of me. But when my sister had a baby, I changed for better reasons. Every day the baby grew older and he became very fond of me. I also started spending more time with the children in my locality. I began to observe the behavioral patterns of children in general and my nephew in particular. I was always interested in psychology but my interests became more specific and I began reading about child psychology and lots of books on raising kids.
    I feel so delighted that I read this lens on day one of my squidoo experience.

    We need to have lenses like this to help us measure our progress - we don't want to miss a thing.

    Thank you for a wonderful resource, this will help me on the weekends (my daughter is in French Immersion, Grade 2) but learning doesn't stop on Saturday and Sunday. Have a great weekend!

    My father(!) was a stay-at-home teacher for my brother and us. We would love to rent life science books from the library and go exploring in local parks, having fun identifying plants, critters, and creepy-crawlers. So much more enriching of an education than I think I could have received in a public school setting.
